Brighton car selling FAQs

How much is my car worth in Brighton?

When you ask us to “value my car,” we consider various factors to determine a fair price.

These factors include:

Make and model
Age
Current mileage
Overall condition
Wear and tear (scuffs, scratches, dents, rust, etc.)
Service history
Specification and modifications
Number of previous owners
Fuel type
Current state of the second-hand car market in Brighton

Naturally, the better the car’s condition and the more supporting paperwork you have, the higher the valuation will be. A well-maintained car with all the necessary documents will always command a higher price than one that has been neglected and lacks service history.

How can I sell my car quickly in Brighton?

You’re already on the way! To sell your car fast in Brighton, all you need to do is enter your car’s details here on our site. We’ll give you an instant offer, and if you’re happy with it, we’ll take care of everything, including free collection.

We take cars in Brighton in nearly any condition! As long as it doesn’t need any major repairs, we’ll be happy to make a fair offer as long as you’re upfront when providing details!

How long does it take to sell my car?

Quicker than you’d expect! From getting your offer to receiving payment, the process typically takes 24-48 hours. Once you accept our offer, we’ll schedule a free pickup in Brighton, and as soon as we collect the car, the payment will land in your bank account shortly after.

What documents do I need to sell my car?

To sell your car, you’ll need:

Your V5 logbook/registration certificate
Service history or service books (if available)
Photo ID
Proof of address
Car keys, including any spares

What if my car’s condition doesn’t match what I described?

If your car’s condition doesn’t match what you originally described, we’ll adjust the offer after inspecting the car at your chosen Brighton location. No need to worry – we’ll explain any changes clearly, so you know what’s going on. We’re all about making the process smooth and straightforward.

Can I still sell my car if I owe money on it?

Yes, you can! If you still have finance left on your car, we’ll help you settle the outstanding balance as part of our service.

We’re committed to transparency and simplicity. No hidden fees, no lowball offers, just honest service. Ask our customers and they’ll tell you the same – check out our five-star reviews on Trustpilot to see how happy they are with their experience.

What happens once I accept your offer?

Once you accept our offer, we’ll arrange a free pickup at a time and place in Brighton that works for you. When we arrive, we’ll give you a call and knock to let you know we’re there. Our driver will do a quick inspection to make sure everything matches your description. If all checks out, you’ll receive a secure NatWest payment link via email, usually within 30 minutes. We’ll be on our way once you’ve confirmed the money is in your account!

Prefer to drop off the car instead? No worries – the process is the same! We’ll just make sure the funds are in your account before you go.

What does the inspection process involve?

Don’t worry – we keep things simple! We’ll go through a standard checklist to make sure your car matches the details you provided. This includes a quick diagnostics check with an OBD reader and a short test drive to confirm everything’s running smoothly before we go ahead with the handover.

What payment methods do you offer?

Once you’ve confirmed the sale and we’ve completed the final appraisal, we’ll make it official! Payment goes directly to your bank account through a secure NatWest payment link.

We’ll send that link to your email right after the appraisal, so you can confirm it’s in your bank account before our driver leaves with your car.

How do you determine the value of a car?

We base your car’s value on live market data, which means valuations can change daily. To lock in your best offer, send us a few photos so we can give you a guaranteed valuation that’s fixed for 7 days. This way, you have time to think things over without missing out on an unbeatable offer!

Are there any types of vehicles you do not purchase?

Our buying preferences are always evolving, but just to give you a heads up, we’re not currently looking for commercial vehicles like taxis, vans, trucks, private hire vehicles, and pickups.

We also aren’t buying cars with a damage category status, so that means no Cat A, Cat B, Cat S, or Cat N cars.

The best way to find out if your car is for us is to complete a quick valuation, right here on our website!
